Model SA-1
detects loud screams occurring within the range of the unit. The unit provides a dry contact closure,
which can activate the auxiliary input of any 100 series Emergency Phone with Auxiliary input option or any 400
series phone.
Proper operation of the unit requires that it be located correctly and that the sensitivity be properly set for the
installation location. The unit is designed for indoor use only. The power supply for the SA-1

requires a 110VAC,
60 Hz outlet. Make sure an outlet is available before beginning the installation.

is taped to the back box for use when reassembling the unit.

outputs and should not be connected to the SA-1

.
